How To Get Rid of Uranium from Drinking Water
Uranium is a radioactive material that can be present in soil, rocks, and water. This might be due to stripping from natural deposits, mill tailings discharges, nuclear plant emissions, coal and other forms of fuel combustion, and phosphate fertilizer with uranium content usage.
If uranium gets into your water source, your family will be at risk of Uranium Toxicity. Uranium exposure can be toxic on human kidneys and has a tendency to accumulate in the bones like how radium does. Extended exposure to uranium can affect the genetic and reproductive system.
Water treatment systems are devised to eliminate uranium and radium from water sources. Reverse Osmosis System and Ion Exchange System are the preferred solutions to address this issue. Through the Reverse Osmosis System, uranium and radium is trapped in a semipermeable membrane where only pure, clean water can pass through. Meanwhile, an ION exchange process occurs wherein radium and uranium are replaced with other safe molecules through a resin bed.
Both radium and uranium are two radioactive elements that are present in underground water. They are dangerous to humans. Thus, it is important that your drinking water is clear of these substances.
